You must cable each controller to the NSM modules on the NS224 drive shelf on
an AFF A700 or ASA AFF A700 running system ONTAP 9.8 or later.
About this task
- This task applies to AFF A700 and ASA AFF A700 running ONTAP 9.8 or later
only.
- The systems must have at least one X91148A module installed in
slots 3 and/or 7 for each controller. The animation shows this module installed
in both slots 3 and 7.
Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable
connector pull-tab orientation. The cable pull-tab for the storage modules
are up, while the pull tabs on the shelves are down.


Note: As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if
you do not feel it click, remove it, turn it around and try
again.
